The port village has pools and shops, and Mahahual's beachfront is a quick, cheap taxi ride.
Where ships dock
- Puerto Costa Maya (purpose-built port village)
Getting to town
The town of Mahahual is about 1.5–2 miles from the port exit, 5–10 minutes by taxi.
Reported taxi fare is about $4–$5 per person each way; confirm the fare and currency first. Walking is possible (30–45 minutes) but hot with little shade, so it isn't recommended.
Fares are as reported by the sources below and change often. Treat them as estimates.

Safety & tips
- Mayan ruin sites (e.g. Chacchoben) are a long drive away, so a booked tour makes sense for those.

⏰ Back to the ship on time
It's a short ride, but allow time for port security lines. Be back 30+ minutes before all-aboard.
Ship time can differ from local time. Your ship won't wait for independent travelers.
